Duties suck :/ A rough estimate would be 17% for base duties + 12% for
provincial sales tax.

+1 to $15 / shirt. Nice round number, easy to make change. That's
assuming that the duty cost doesn't push it to $20/shirt to avoid a loss
(which is also a nice round number).

+1 to keeping them to a nice, plain Evergreen logo. Let the wearer do
the talking/explaining :)
